    mm/madvise: add MADV_COLLAPSE to process_madvise() · 876b4a18
    Zach O'Keefe authored
    Allow MADV_COLLAPSE behavior for process_madvise(2) if caller has
    CAP_SYS_ADMIN or is requesting collapse of it's own memory.
    
    This is useful for the development of userspace agents that seek to
    optimize THP utilization system-wide by using userspace signals to
    prioritize what memory is most deserving of being THP-backed.
